Who called from 8188830413

Called again this morning @ 10:11am - BLOCKED FOREVER!

after twice daily calls for months, picked up call and said remove us from your list.  was then threatened by caller.  he said he didn't like my attitude.  THIS IS CRIMINAL.

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $40.00 or so. If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number. For tracfone & straight talk:

For text messages: forwarding any text message spam you get to the short code  “7726,” which spells “spam” on most phones, to alert your network operator to the abuse. ATT won't accept 7726 But they will accept BLOCK and return a message that the web site is blocked. forward the texts to 7726 or BLOCK, depending on your phone carrier.

At least two calls per day from this number. There are also calls on either side of these that come from different numbers, "Private Caller", "Direct Assist", and other such ID spoofs. It is really the phone companies who are criminally negligent here, as it's very simple for them to block such calls today, but they choose not to. In the meantime, the game of cat-and-mouse continues, and sales of blocking-phones skyrocket.

I just wish there was a way to become as much of a nuisance to the telemarketers as they are to us. I sometimes fantasize about what I'd do to them if I found them, but then I take a chill-pill and think more pleasant thoughts...like what I'd do to them if I found them.

I watched the video noted (unnecessarily repeatedly) above.  It's boring.  The guy sounds like most of the weirdoo's that used to call before I finally caved and bought a Panasonic call-blocking phone.  No more weirdoo's.  I highly recommend the 250-call blocker phone or any other device that will block these calls.  It's a small price to pay for peace and serenity.

I think the video is important in that it documents the elements of the call: he doesn't say who he works for or what he is soliciting about, and he doesn't provide the required contact information.  Once he is notified that he is being recorded, he doesn't hang up; instead he plays a weird mind-game.

He has a distinct voice and manner of speaking; somebody somewhere will be able to identify him.
